Question No 4 by Reinhard Rack 
Subject: Protection of fundamental rights
How is it to be ensured that the strengthening of mutual recognition and the simplification of cross-border procedures will not entail a reduced level of protection of fundamental rights?
What binding rules are needed, particularly with regard to the protection of fundamental rights, to clarify the application of minimum procedural safeguards in cases entailing cross-border circumstances?
